ADJECTIVAL  FORMS  IN  PLAUTUS. 


I. — Feminine    Fokms  of    -o    and     a   Stem 

Adjectives. 

1.  Nom.  .s.  in  -a. 

alterdy  B.  1128,  Poen.  prol.  85. 

libera,  E.    498. 

medf  Cas.  696,  Cure.  602. 

Similarly  we  get  -d  in  the  plural  of 
neuters  of  both  declensions  : 

ceterdf  As.  199. 
/acid,  Pers.  761  (?). 
onmid,  Men.  900,  Mil.  1314,  l;);3cS. 

More  (loul)tful  are,  mianl,  True.  459,  and 
ebriold,  Cure.  192. 

On  the  other  hand,  -d  is  found  in  the 
penultimate  syllable  of  iambic  senarii,  and 
trochaic  septenarii  very  frequently  in  adjec- 
tives and  participlts  (in  nouns  we  get  only 
four  such  instances)  : 

Verse  endings  such  as 

certd 'res  (2b),  sdtidii  es  (li)    ...     28 

5  6  7  H 

Neuters,  such  as  curdtd  sint  ...       9 

5  6 

2.  Genitive  singular. 

7nagnaif  Mil.  103,  prol. 
malai,    Merc.     693 ;    Ps. 
Rufinus. 

meaif  Aul.  121. 
noHtrai,  Mil.  519. 
publicai,  Mil.  103,  prol. 
iuai,  Aul.  121. 

3.  Dative  singular  of  pronominal  adjec- 
tives. 

(diae,  Mil.  802. 

alferae,  R.  750. 

solae,  Mil.  356,  1019. 

(otae,  Frag.  Fab.  Inc.  3  (Varro). 

Probably  also,  in  pronouns,  Mil.  348, 
S.  560,  True.  790. 

11. — Masculine    and    Neuter     Forms    of 
-o  Stem  Adjectives. 

1.  Nom.  8. 

Two  us  are  avoided,  so  we  get,  e.g.,  saluos 
(Most.  1128),  not  saluus  ;  similarly   in  the 


accoiding 


to 


ace.  s.,  saluom  (Men.  1038),  not  saluum. 

Instances  of  -ils  are  few,    and  certainly 
illusory.     Verse  endings  like 

absihnpiits  es 


comin67iitus  sum  (-tu*  sum) 

7  8 

sdnvii  es 

5  0 

moribtindiisque  est  (B.  192) 


32

1 


Form  :  morhjerus  (not  -ge7'),  occurs  five 
tinios  in  nom.  s.  m.  ;  cf.  socerus,  Men.  957, 
and  tlie  voc.  puere  ;  possibly,  also  pu<e>ru8 
in  True.  906. 

2.  Genitive  singular. 

((()  Of  -10  stems  should  end  in  -{i,  not  -i 
as  in  nouns  with  -io  stems;  but  as  it  happens 
we  find  no  such  genitive  in  all  of  Plautus. 
If  we  may  trust  Neue  (11.^  p.  44)  the  first 
instance  is  in  Lucretius. 

(b)  Of  pronominal  adjectives. 

ali  modi,  Frag.  Inc.  74  (7),  Paulus. 

coloris  ulli,  True.  293.  MSS.  and 
Priscian. 

iini  animi,  S.  731  (so  BCD;  unanimi,  F 
and  libri  ueteres  Lambini). 

alt\e]rius,  Capt.  306. 

nidlius  coloris,  Ps.  1196  (ABCD). 

3  4 

ntrivMque  //  uerba,  True.  794. 

4  5 

3.  Vocative  singular, 

aureus,  As.  691. 

dulciculus,  Poen.  390. 

/estus,  Cas.  137. 

metis,  Cas.  137,  Cist.  53,  Moht.  311, 
Pers.  765,  Poen.  366,  367,  S.  764  ;  add  As. 
664  and  Cas.  138,  where  mens  occurs  along 
with  mi. 

molliculus,  Poen.  367. 

pullus,  Cas.  138. 

7/161,  Men.  182  (BCD),  361  (B'CD'), 
541  (A),  Mere.  503  (A),  525  (A).  Surely 
not  80  written  by  Plautus  himself. 

amice  une.  Frag.  89,  Friuolaria  (Priscian).
